Square Enix has officially confirmed that the beloved Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster collection is making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. Arriving on July 23, this definitive package not only preserves the classic JRPG experience but also introduces long-awaited quality-of-life enhancements previously exclusive to the PC version. Players can finally look forward to a high-speed mode and a toggle for random encounters—features that make these sprawling adventures significantly more accessible for modern play sessions.
To celebrate the announcement, a new trailer highlights the polished HD character models, vibrant creature designs, and upgraded background visuals that have defined this remaster since its initial stateside debut in 2014. While the visual overhaul remains a subject of nostalgic debate among purists who favor the original PlayStation 2 aesthetics, the utility of the new gameplay modifiers is undeniably a welcome addition for any console player.

Beyond the technical tweaks, this release includes the fully remastered, arranged orchestral score and incorporates all additional content from the original International Version of both titles. If you’ve never experienced Spira’s journey, this is the perfect opportunity; the Final Fantasy X saga remains a high-water mark for the franchise. And who knows? Perhaps a surge in popularity might finally encourage Square Enix to greenlight the fabled Final Fantasy X-3.
